Walking on a dream

Summer'09! Soon, very soon I will be walking on a dream as well!

I just have to share this song & video

Ok, after checking out the entire dicography of Lemon Jelly I've found out that the London duo DOES NOT HAVE A BAD TRACK!. This is definatelly my favourite one. Recommended to all melomaniacs and fervent slow-beat-ers!

Cien años de soledad

Nothing is more pleasurable than reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hermann Hesse and Doris Lessing in orginal.
Bedank en tot ziens!

Stranger

I enjoyed every single scene of this movie! Funnily, I could recognise myself in him and her and the other him in almost all situations. The little joys, peculiarities and hells of travelling. In somebody's flat. At work. Arriving at a new city. Playing cards with an old lady. Walking on a windy beach. In the cinema. Traveling in a car with well-known strangers. Finding yourself in thousands of odd moments shared with thousands of odd people. A foreigner. In paradise?

Road to ruin

“The Libertines? Why the Libertines?”- would all haters ask with repulse and annoyance.. “We’ve all had enough of Doherty’s media masturbation." How much coke he sniffed in Glasgow last night, a talk show feat. prime minister Gordon Brown, what Katie did next…We’ve all had enough (no you haven’t, you media junkies). And still….if there is one band from this young baby century of ours that deserves all that attention – music, lyrics, drama and etc.—it is the Libertines. Wrong, it was the Libertines. Carl Barat has been long off to Dirty Pretty Things and Babyshambles Pete sounds out of tune these days. A friend of mine used to say “If you’ve ever liked the Libertines, you can’t possibly like the Babyshambles”. Well, I liked and still do like the Libertines. They were like some kind of a new-age Nirvana, the meditation in the concert halls that takes away it all, all that what other bands cannot even begin to touch. The music is powerful, contemporary, lyrics make sence and respond to that distructive yought vibration of ours and yet it can make you dance and scream not only because of the lead singer. ‘Cause it’s not about Pete and his looks and what he said on Glastonbury (I believe, if I were him, I would have been unable to say who am I). And it's not about his new coat, shoes and the face he pulled out in the morning —this is what people wanna read in the underground in the morning on the way to work. Music is what matters … and he does it well, well he used to do it well. We are losing him and he is the symbol of a generation …well he is the "bad boy" of a generation … well of my generation. 'Cause I've been there and I’ve seen it and I am soo sorry that we will lose him soon. You can’t just start throwing syringes at the audience. It’s not only grose, its TOO MUCH, Pete...
So why the Libertines? 'Cause they came, they played their tunes and left a noisy trace in the history of music and unlike many other bands of our time (who basically did the same), they will be remembered. Live with it!!!

Terroristen

I remember discussions on the RAF story during Leistungsklassen in highschool. But I never managed to understand if they were bad or good guys. My East Berlin teacher was totaly against, my classmates did not give a damn about it and discussions led to nothing. And there it is in 2008 . .a look at Germany's infamous terrorist group. Just brilliant!
